I don't doubt the blokes ticker and his passion for the tigers, but his positional play is poor at the moment, and his confidence under any kicks is shot, even when it is bouncing he is waiting for lote to come across and take it, I am hoping he can gain some form quickly because sheens is not going to drop him at this stage of the season and try to fit someone new in

no watch the games closer and you would see since the souths game he has been great.last night dropped a difficult bomb in traffic.but he is good at running the ball and often brakes tackles.but yes if tnt returns to previous levels tnt no doubt starts ahead of him.

I disagree. He has been horrible, terrible, shocking. I hope he doesnt cost us a game in the finals. He cant take a bomb if his life depended on it and everything he touched turns to junk

Having a guy with Ryans passion for the club and the game is also vitally important in the finals series. He had a bit of a stinker last night but even though I have always believed we have better options I would pick him next week for his enthusiasm, continuity of structure and the fact he will make his entire focus this week on correcting his errors from last night.

If McKinnon is fit I'd play Brown ahead of him anytime. Brown runs hard and straight, Ryan runs sideways more that Fitzhenry and usually LOSES ground on kick returns.

brown was quite good last night and definately offers more than beau with his speed and running ability. he chased and caught supposedly one of the quickest wingers and has been a solid performer in every game he has played which is something you cannot say about beau. anyway next week we will have players back and at least we will be spoilt for choice.

If I had sleaus ability and was constantly picked in first grade to go with my multi year $100k+pa contract I'd be bloody passionate about the club too
